Land-based educator in Sask. school introduces students to ice fishing
This week, McCallum took all the grades from the Sturgeon Lake Central School out to the local lake where they learned to ice fish.
It was a great experience to re-learn a tradition that student River Ballantyne’s family has instilled for years. “My dad taught me and so did … my moshum ,” he said. “I want to learn how to survive in the wild in any situation where I have to survive.” So far, the students have learned to make snowshoes and quinzees , how to chop wood and build a fire, and how to filet and clean the fish they caught.Story continues below advertisement
“It’s very rewarding when I know the kids are excited and they’re learning something,” said McCallum. “The come to my classroom and ask me, ‘when are you taking out that taking us out again?'”The land-based teaching occurs all year round. Depending on the season, the activities vary. McCallum used the current cold temperatures to her advantage to have ice fishing week.
